Washington, March 5.—Government revenues oollécted during - January—the first month of operation of the revised tax law— showed a decrease in receipts of nearly *$65,000,000, compared with Janu- ary, 1321, according to reports compiled tonight by, the interfnal revenue bureau.

The adv¥ance was accounted for by an increase of $144,000 in taxes on grape brandy used in fortifying sweet wines, all the other items showthg decreases. Tobacco taxes increased about $492,000, the total for January from this source as- grégating $20,433,000 against $19,041,0:0 Jast year.

REACTION FROM WAR BLAMED FOR LARGE NUMBER OF SUICIDES New York, March 5—Reaction follow- ing the war was blamed tonight by the Save-a-Life lfague for the largg number of suicides in 1921, twenty thousand of which were estimated to have taken place in this country. The number of cases brought to the league’s attention was 12, 144 of which 8410 were mades and 3731 females. “This waste of life, the resolt of re- cent disturbed economic conditions and the aftermath of war,' 'said a report by Harry M. Warren, president of the leazue, “has caused commercial failures, loss of em- rloyment and much real suffering. The growing complexity of our modern life, the feverish unrest, crimes, divorces, ques- tionable dress, unhappy home relations the decline of religious entiment, and other things which have caused deranged herves, depression and less self-control With imbroved business, which is sure to come, the suicide rate will be reduced and prosperity and happiness will return. One of the striking features of the Te- port is the increase in the number of sui- cides of children which was 477 in 1919 ; in 1920 and $55 in 1821, There also were 508 war veterans among the suicides last year. All classes of soclety were included in the list of those who took their own lives. There were 10 editors, sohool 40 students, 51 teachers, 21 clergymen, 39 brok- judizes and lawyers, 86 hysicians 76 millionaires, 30 wealthy woman and 93 bankers, Inciuding I ‘bank presidenis. The oldest suicide was 100 and the young- est 5. All sorts of reasons were given by the ictims. One man hung himself hecause his wife was “to good” for him. Another because his wife was spending all his maney, another bacause he couldn‘t Sani the noise of a neighbor's piano and an- other hecause his wife refused to kisg him One dpinster took poison, leaving a note that “no man in the world is good enough for me,” and a mother took her life be {cause her son wouldn't marry to please her.

Rocke- feller estate at Tarrytown last Friday. The police here refused to divulge the contents of the letter, excdpt to say it warned the young woman to ‘keep her mmouth shut.” They are proceeding on a theory that the writer of the letter went to New York, red Mrs. Venza to the lonely spot in Tarrytown in an automobile, killed her with a atiletto and fled, after throwing the body into the street. ldentification of the body as that of Mrs. Venza was completed today when her mother, Mrs. Marie Macin{ and her broth- er-in-law, came here from New York.
